    i've never heard of them, not a bad price though.

    if it were me, i would get a fuel pressure gauge. that might just be me though, i've gone through about 3 fuel pump in the last 3 years though. could be handy

    a buddy of mine has a wideband on his terminator cobra. he's running close to 600 rwhp though. and to be honest, i don't even know what he uses it for. i mean that and the fuel pressure and most of the others aren't going to do a whole lot except confirm that something is wrong, if and when something does go wrong. ya know?

    he runs a wideband because his termi is supercharged. Monitors air/fuel so it wont go kaboom.

    the answer is YES you need one. You CAN NOT TUNE at WOT a truck to its most potential without a wide band. When at a certain percent throttle the SD tables are referenced since the O2 and MAF cant make the small changes to the motor fast enough. So they go into just small changes. So dependent on tuner if they tried to lean it out a lil for more power or richen it up a little for safety how will you know if you got the most out of your tune? Its is a neccesity if you want the most out of your truck. .... This is my understanding of the subject. Moreover. You needed two more gauges. Thats one

    My nitrous pressure one is nice. My fuel pressure one broke. Hit or miss I guess.
